A library that helps you opening social networks from your app

Social

TL;DR A simple library to open social networks on Android

Usage

This library is made of one Context extension and several SocialNetworks. To open a social network just call it from a Context

For example

baseContext.openSocialNetwork(Twitter("kleinquentin"))

(or in OLD Java)

Context_extKt.openSocialNetwork(getBaseContext(), new Twitter("kleinquentin"));

Then the library will either open the twitter app or start the web browser on the given profile.

Look at the doc because if the paramter format is incorrect, it will throw an IllegalArgumentException

Supported Social Networks

• Twitter
• Facebook
• Instagram
• LinkedIn
• Tumblr
• Meetup

Install

Add it over jitpack.io

In the project build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        // Maybe google() 
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

In the module build.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.quentin7b:android-social:2.0.0'
}

Extends

If a social network is not yet supported, but you know how to build it, just implements SocialNetwork and give it to openSocialNetwork() as a parameter.

To implement SocialNetwork, you'll have to:

• override buildWebUrl() which builds the URL to open by the browser if the app is not foud
• override buildIntentUri() which builds the Intent.ACTION_VIEW's extra data
